I ride a Scott Cr1 Pro road bike and a Giant Xtc1 with XTR kit! I drive a 1967 Renault 10! When I do travel with my bike I more than double the value of my car! Lol

hahaha! totally! As James says... "a car is a device used to transport bikes"
My car is just such a device. At any given time it has 2 of my bikes in it
BTW Rico... you and Mr Davies may have to have a dance-off to determine who has the hottest makulu
I'll post pics of mine when it arrives. (and yes, it is worth more than my car... but sadly does not have a Fox 40 kashima)

ummm. are we comparing new bike to new car? if so, no.
If we are comparing current bike to current car then absolutely! Specialized stumpjumper fsr and an old Subaru Impreza! ( they actually have very similar personalities, rattly, squeeky, expensive and over-rated but oh such fun to ride/drive!)

Does me.
There is evil! It's actual, like cement... I can't believe it. I can't stand it. Evil is not a view... it's an ingredient in us. In the world. Poured over us, filtering into our bodies, minds, hearts, into the pavement itself.

Lemme see:
Nissan 1400 bakkie R30 000.
Victoria Titanium R8 000; Colnago Master R5 000; Colnago Superissimo R5 000; Le Turbo 1 R1 200; Le Turbo 2 R1 200; GT Avalanche 2.0 R3 000. = R23 400.
So no, not yet. Though I only got R12 000 for the old Volvo S40 I was driving.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

my car did 45000 Kms last year, my bike about 1000. so I guess the ratio is about right.
